konsole with bash stopped running from the panel
I'm currently running the testing distribution of Debian (woody). I've been
having trouble for about 2 months with launching konsole from the panel and
application menu. If I click on the konsole icon or select "Terminal" from
the System menu on the application menu, a konsole window flashes on screen
for an instant, then disappears. I observe similar behavior from the "Run
Command.." option in the application menu as well when I try to run any x
application.
If I open an xterm and run konsole at the command line, konsole runs fine.
Furthermore, if I change my default shell to csh or tcsh, konsole runs just
fine from the panel and application menu, and the "Run Command.." on the
application menu works.
I'm suspecting this is a configuration problem somewhere on my machine.
Looking at the .xsession-errors file after attempting to start konsole, I
find,
QObject::connect: Cannot connect KAction::activated() to Konsole::(null)
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: /bin/bash: undefined symbol:
history_max_entries
WARNING: KDE detected X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window
parameter) 9
Major opcode: 14
It's the /bin/bash: error that bothers me. I have the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to
include /lib, /usr/lib, and /usr/local/lib. I'm using the following software
versions,
bash 2.05-4
konsole 2.1.1.0-10
kdebase 2.1.1.0-10
libc6 2.2.3-5
Has anyone had similar problems? I have another machine with the same
software versions, but have no trouble with it, and I can't find where the
difference lies. I've searched for information on the mailing list , bug
list, and the web, but to no avail.
Thanks for any help.
